Description
The Blackstone River runs from Worcester, MA, to Providence, RI. Its waters powered the Slater Mill in Pawtucket, RI, America's first successful textile mill. This creative spark began the nation's transformation from Farm to Factory. Today, the Blackstone River Valley is a special type of National Park - a living landscape containing thousands of natural, cultural and historic treasures.
Hours:
The majority of the sites in the Blackstone River Valley are open 12 months a year. There are some seasonal attractions that are of special interest.
